BREAKING: Trump admin keeps Obama rule requiring Little Sisters of the Poor to pay for contraception ... for now

[Cripplecreek]

April 25, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – The Trump administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) caused surprise today by signaling that it intends to continue the Obama administration's court battle with the Little Sisters of the Poor and other religious groups over the HHS contraception mandate, at least for the time being.

While Trump had promised on the campaign trail to drop the provision, the DOJ has now asked the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for 60 more days to negotiate with East Texas Baptist University and other religious institutions to find a solution to their religious liberty concerns.

If they do this, it will be a betrayal even worse than anything I expected -- and I expected quite a few betrayals

Justice delayed is justice denied.

I doubt it. Reserving judgement until this is confirmed.

I doubt it. Reserving judgement until this is confirmed.

And once it is, we expect the incredible pretzel twists of thirteen-dimensional chess analogies to be used to justify keeping that *rule* and thus - another betrayal to the faithful that were sure Trump was going to do all he promised.  Betrayals that are coming several times a day now.

Slow down there!  You get a more harmonious outcome.

I'm sure Barack Obama's regime created a 'booby trap' maze for anyone trying to repeal that specific item.

Right now, we're at the ....".....Charley??   Do I cut the blue wire or the orange wire?   CHARLIE??"...stage.

I'm not sure why lifesitenews would have a reason to falsify information.......

The Health and Human Services (HHS) Director, Tom Price has a 100 percent pro-life voting record. It is likely he remains as pro-life as ever and will use his position to help resolve the dispute.

So far, the story is developing, and no comment has yet been made by the Trump administration.

As said, story is developing.

This is Jeff Sessions department of justice, so what is up with this?

Yes. Trump does have a most well-developed sense of the intricate nuances of policy and doesn't throw out half-baked executive orders or other such nonsense.

So those who didn't give a crap about the unborn and wouldn't give Trump their vote to save such now act self-righteous; really an insult to intelligence and we will see how this plays out. 3

And if the Senators like Paul and Lee and Rubio are such pro-lifers, why haven't they introduced bills to defund Planned Parenthood? It's in the pipe.

And this story is close to fake news as of now.

I know things can get heated in any discussion and I realize I'm not here much.

I also realize you as someone who cares about the lives of babies are likely a great individual to know.

That said, I'm not sure exactly how you get away with or why you think it's remotely ok to have a righteous holier than thou attitude to continually say, "I defended the babies because I voted Trump and those of you who did not are basically a bunch of baby murderers."- or at least side with and enabling them.

I mean, I'd be embarrassed to use that argument intellectually and I'd feel bad about using ethically.  Apparently you have no such qualms, so I guess you'll just continue to run with it.

He's best ignored, @American Faith Today .  There is no logic nor reason, and frequently no truth in what he posts.

He tries desperately to make those of us who are pro-life and opposed to Trump's pro-abortion life the enemies of the life of the unborn.   But it just makes him look desperate and foolish.

That it does.

It seems to happen frequently when one changes one's loyalty from the defense of truth to the defense of trump.....

Why didn't GW and the Republicans who controlled both the House and Senate back in 2000's terminate funding to PP??

Trump is not going to get every thing you want passed right away. he said he is going oto have to go back in and make further changes..  The guy passed great pro life legislation, put in pro life people as much as he can and reversed Obamas EO's so far.
